The latest Whitney sale has sway bars on sale for $73.  LBCs listed are AH,
Jaguar, MG, Sunbeam, and TR.  Claims "ALL" TR models, with a note re TR4A.
Doesn't state the manufacturer, so am I to assume these are the AddCo bars?

Their regular catalogue lists polyurethane end-link kit for $9 and bushing
kit for $10.

Total is $92 from Whitless or $174 from Victoria, but are they the same
quality?

Got my ELP today.  Next time you see a red/black "TR 69" you'll know who
it is...

I got the reflectorized version 'cause of the nice 'Merican red/white/blue
color scheme plus it's more readable at night.

So cool, now I've got a bright red sports car with a visible, distinctive
plate...  Like I don't have enough license problems already from zipping
excessively on my motorcycle......

On a DMV fuckup sidenote, what I was hoping would happen indeed worked out
perfectly.

I got a registration renewal offer from the DMV to renew the registration
for the car.  I sent it in, knowing my ELP would be ready soon...

When I go to the DMV, they give me my new plates plus the precious year
sticker which I had just paid for through the mail, but not received yet
and so were not on the old plates I turned in.

The plates were taken by the reception person, not the one doing doling out
the new plates/stickers, which is why this worked...

When I got home, lo!, another year sticker was waiting in the mail for me.

Now I have an extra and can put it on anything and make it "registered"
to prying piggy eyes, at least through '94 sometime.

Offers, anyone?
